Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Colours fool my brain as daylight fills my window
What a fool I was to sit and watch you go
Falling through my arms like whispers through my heartstrings
On and on it goes
[Verse 2]
You give me life
Beautiful life
[Verse 3]
All my chains are gone and all the guns are loaded
I need someone close to never let me go
Someone's calling and I hear it like an echo
On and on it goes
[Verse 4]
You give me life
Beautiful life
[Verse 5]
But it's a beautiful good life
I had the feeling my whole life
I was caught in a nightmare
Now we're breathing the same air
I live my life in a daydream
All the colours are so clean
And it's a beautiful good life
It's a beautiful good life
[Verse 6]
Someone love me, 'cause I feel like I could explode
You make peace, I start a war all on my own
Falling through my arms like whispers through my heartstrings
On and on it goes
[Verse 7]
You give me life
Beautiful life
[Verse 8]
But it's a beautiful good life
I had the feeling my whole life
I was caught in a nightmare
Now we're breathing the same air
I live my life in a daydream
All the colours are so clean
And it's a beautiful good life
It's a beautiful good life
[Verse 9]
It's a beautiful good life
It's a beautiful good life
You know the world is a jungle
But you don't have to crumble
'Cause it's a beautiful good life
